I run a John Deere 250II skid steer have used on demo jobs mostly for clean up. I have only good things to say about it. It has great visibility due to the arm configuration. Great lifting power and height. I have done some pretty impressive things with it and would get a nother one with out thinking twice. I have run Bobcat, Cat, Komatsu, Case, Gehl, Thomas, Scattrack and Tackauchi for me John Deere has worked out great.
